AINSWORTH, Neb. — Mike Tuerk watched his north-central Nebraska home go up in flames Sunday, but he said he didn't have time to fret about details such as where he would stay the night.
“When this gets over, I'll know then,” said the Keya Paha County Board member. “We're just fightin' fires right now.”
Tuerk's home near the river on Turkey Creek Road was among a half dozen destroyed in a rabid brush fire in the rural Niobrara River valley bordering South Dakota.
All residents of the valley from the Norden Bridge east to U.S. Highway 183 have been told to evacuate.
